Heavy Grav-Support Vehicle for Sci-Fi Machine Cult Forces
The Hovercraft Tank Solpuga D-10 is a brutally efficient grav-armoured transport and gun platform designed for the relentless war engines of any Sci-Fi Machine Cult collection. Built with sweeping industrial lines, reinforced hover-pods, and a compact but imposing hull, this vehicle brings both presence and battlefield utility to your tabletop.
Featuring 19 finely detailed parts, the Solpuga D-10 offers flexible turret builds, interchangeable weapon modules, and two cyber-augmented crew that slot perfectly into their hatches. Every surface, from the heat-sink arrays to the layered armour plating, is sculpted for painters who enjoy adding weathering, OSL glows, and intricate metallic tones. Whether used as a troop carrier or a battlefield gunship, it embodies the cold, ritualistic precision of a true Sci-Fi Machine Cult war engine.
Measuring 144.8mm long, 85.5mm wide, and 83.5mm tall, this grav-tank has the bulk and silhouette of a heavy battlefield support craft. The multi-pod repulsor system gives it the visual character of a hovering behemoth skimming over dunes, blasted wastelands, or industrial ruins. The interchangeable weapon suite allows you to customise the role of your vehicle — from anti-infantry saturation fire to heavier anti-armour energy cannons.
Painting Guide (Airbrush or Traditional Brush)
Here’s a step-by-step process that works brilliantly on grav-tanks with industrial-tech aesthetics:
1. Prime
- Black primer for maximum depth
- Optional: spritz grey from above for a zenithal pre-shade
2. Basecoats
For a machine-cult aesthetic:
- Hull: Dark metal (Gunmetal Grey, Black Metal, or a mix of both)
- Hover pods / repulsors: Cold grey or desaturated blue-grey
- Armour plates: Deep crimson, industrial yellow, or hazard-stripe pattern
3. Shading
- Apply a thin coat of black wash into the recesses
- Add a touch of brown wash around vents and heat sinks for oil/soot build-up
4. Highlights
- Edge highlight the armour with bright silver
- For coloured panels, use lighter versions of your basecoat (e.g., crimson → red-orange)
5. Weathering
Works especially well on vehicles associated with ritual-mechanical armies:
- Sponge chips: Use dark brown followed by silver
- Heat staining: Apply blue → purple → brown rings on exhaust tubes
- Dusting: Light drybrush of tan or bone on the lower hull
6. Glow Effects (OSL)
Use turquoise, green, or orange for:
- Sensors
- Lenses
- Turret energy coils
- Hover-pod rings
Blend outward for subtle glow, perfect for a Sci-Fi Machine Cult colour scheme.
